Candy pink

Good  morning from a glorious sunny Warwickshire...yep that good old sun has managed to stay and grace us with its prescence..but enough said he might get embarressed and disapear..and we dont want that...do we..on to my card well im not that happy with it i messed about with it too much..fiddling here and there anyway its glued down now.

i was in a right grumpy mood all day yesterday and there were tears before bedtime..had a upsetting phone call from work (even though im still on sick leave) and it really upset me..again...cant go into the finer  details..but i have someone who dislikes me so much he dosnt want me to visit this lady who he is supposed to be caring for..yeah right he lives 100 of miles away  she has no one else except me  and i get slammed for caring or helping   her...my job is all not as it seems when you get  crap people(he can always come back a loo roll cause he talks enough of S**T)  complaining to work ..even though i have done nothing wrong..just care about her but  my  company too are such hypocrites..im in a caring postion yet im not allowed to care..and they always take things as said by thrd party before im given them my version..although nothing to tell really ..it s like working with a noose around my neck being pulled tighter and tighter till im so unhappy i just wish they would kick the chair  and have a end to it all..im damed if i do and damed if i dont and guilty even though i dont know what im suppposed to have done that was so bad.....except Nothing...probably not the best place to write this but i need to get it off my chest...if it werent for my crafting i would be lost..as at least i can submerge myself into something to take my mind off things....although it dosnt erase the pain of how i feel..things that have happened over the years you would not believe if i told you but some of it would make your hair curl....but enough of the doom and gloom...back to my card flowers from hobbicraft i found these the other day they fallen behing my storage unit..so it must have been meant to use them ribbon and all the extras from stash...gosh that informative..er not.. the lovely lotv image coloured in distress inks..bought a couple of the distress markers to try and there lovely i found other paper to watercolour on from WH smith..and its great to use 190gsm so happy about something...right for my shower..ttfn BIG  thanks to everyone for the wonderfull comments as always so gratefull you find time to visit and eave me super comments sassy Big world wide hugs xxxxxxxxxxxx

I'm a Little Tea pot...mini album

A very good morning to all my gorgeousnesse's....i hope the sun shines ahain like it did here yesterday it as *HOT...HOT...HOT** wonderful weather and hopefull are venturing out today so gotta dig out me flip flops..i would do the Kylie  shorts and t shirt but ive seen some damaging piccis from Walmart..so not gonna bother....especially with my legs..they look like a road map..LOL!!..even though im off work still i had a resident call yesterday she just like Mother Riley..anyone remeber her?? showing my age..anyways she been to see my oldest resident whos 100 years young in Sept and told me she is missing me..shes been crying as she wants me...a lump in my throat i told her id go and see her asap...when i went she was so happy to see me .....and as she held my hand.. ..she told me that she was getting even more tired of late and has made a decison to move into a Residential Home on the isle of white ..she has set a date for 6th June..i was so upset as i love her to bits ..but tif this is what she feels she wants to do i have to give her my support...she asked me for my  permission..i told her she didnt need it and but when she goes shell be missed terribly but it will be nice for her to have loads of TLC in this last chapeter of her life... we have become so close over the 11 years ive helped her..chatted over numerous cups of tea sharing  all her memories ..eaten my body weight in her biscuites and just so enjoyed and priviledged to have been a part  of her wonderful life....

so as i was blog hopping yesterday i came across http://sweeetdesignsbycheryl.blogspot.co.uk/ Blog and she'd made this lovely tea pot mini album (pop over and have a look its stunning..so thanks for the inspiration hunnie)..she used dies from cottage cutz..but it got me thinking..perhaps if i drew a tea pot i could make a mini album for my lady i have a few picci 's of her over the years and also photos of other residents who like me adore her...so pencil in hand i drew this tea pot shape ...i used the back of a 12x12 scarpbook cover  for the front and back and used papers  to cover it all from Lucy Cromwell..papermnia which is a good 200gsm paper and soo very pretty..i glued everything on the front used a very old beaded thingy round the handles they were off a old wedding headress.and decorated the inside with different papers..ive left on page blank for all the residents who know her well to say good-bye...i have popped a couple of sleeves in and added tags for piccis and will add the when i have bought myself a new ink as sods law it ran out just when i needed it most...and thenall  tied together  with pretty ribbons ..so rather pleased it turned out like it  has i just hope when she gets to her new home she will look at it and remeber us...im so gonna miss her.....i just know ill cry when the day comes...well im off for a shower and wanted to thank you all who have left me wonderful comments not only do you all inspire me but keep old sassy heart full of love a mamooose hug from me to you have a great day...mwah!!!xxxxxx challenge im entering http://movingalongwiththetimes.blogspot.co.uk/ and http://papersundaes.blogspot.co.uk/
